A system for maintenance of a base station having a tower and base station circuitry, the system comprising:
- a movable radio module that is mechanically movable between (1) a first position in which the movable radio module is detachably connected to a connection mechanism located in the vicinity of a top portion of the tower to facilitate providing a network service, and (2) a second position in which the movable radio module is disconnected from the connection mechanism to facilitate maintenance on the movable radio module.
A system for maintenance of a base station having a tower and base station circuitry, the system comprising:
- a base station module that is mechanically movable between (1) a first position in which the base station module is detachably coupled to a connection mechanism mounted on the tower to facilitate providing a network service, and (2) a second position in which the base station module is disconnected from the connection mechanism to facilitate maintenance on the base station module.
A method for maintenance of a base station system having a tower and base station circuitry, the method comprising:
- mechanically moving a base station module from a first position in which the base station module is detachably connected to a connection mechanism located in the vicinity of a top of a tower to a second position in which the base station module is disconnected from the connection mechanism, and
- performing maintenance on the base station module with the base station module disconnected from the connection mechanism.
